Have you tried searching for your person in FreeBMD? (I find if not known, use All Districts and All Counties. Otherwise to limit search, select either the known Parish (and year range) or known County (Cambridgeshire).) Allow a little time for a new window to open - BEHIND the search window. Select "District" link and it will go to a page that lists the District and what parishes or towns are within that district. This will open in a new window. http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/REG/hrt.htm "Hitchin Created 1st July 1837. Mainly in Hertfordshire, but included parts of Bedfordshire.
